PENCIL HOLDER.

Application filed August 8, 1922. Serial No. 580,555.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALLIsoN i). Grsn, a

citizen of the United States, residing at Cofi'eyville, in the county of Montgomery and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pencil Holders, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to holders, designed primarily for use for holding or supporting pens or pencils, or a pen and pencil on the wrist of a person, but it is to be understood that the holder can be employed in any manner and for any purposes wherein it is found applicable, and the invention has for its object to provide a holder for the purpose referred to, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, with means for holding or supporting pens or pencils or a pen and pencil on the wrist so that the same can be quickly reached when desired, furthermore to enable the carrying thereof on the person, as well as overcoming the necessity of placing the pen or pencil in the pocket or back of the ear, and furthermore to act as a means to reduce the misplacing or loss of the pen or pencil to a minimum.

Further objects of the invention are to provide a holder for the purpose set forth, which is simple in its construction and arrangement, strong, durable, eflicient and convenient in its use, readily set up in attaching position, and inexpensive to manufacture.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists of a novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts, as hereinafter more specifically described, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein is shown an embodiment of the invention, but it is to be understood that changes, variations and modifications may be resorted to which fall within the scope of the claims hereunto appended.

In the drawings, wherein like reference characters denote corresponding parts thoughout the several views Figure 1 is a perspective view of a holder in accordance with this invention, showing the adaptation thereof in connection with the wrist of a person.

Fig.2 is a top plan view of the holder, partly broken away, and extended, and

Fig. 3 is a section on the line 33 of Fi 2.

K holder, in accordance with this invention, and for the purpose set forth, is constructed of any suitable flexible material, preferably leather, and comprises a circular body portion 1, having extending therefrom a pair of oppositely disposed strap members 2, 3, and each of which is of any suitable width. The strap member 2 at one end, is provided with a buckle 4:, and the strap member 3 is formed with a series of openings 5, whereby the strap members can be ad ustably connected for the purpose of fitting wrists 6 of different sizes.

Associated with the body portion 1, as well as being secured to the outer face thereof, is a holding element, and which is formed of a strip of flexible material, preferably leather, or of a material corresponding to the material from which the body portion 1 is constructed, and said holding element is indicated at 7, and is bent upon itself as at 8, 9, and secured to the body portion 1 by a row of stitching 10, which divides the element 7 into a pair of pockets 10, 11, for the reception of the pencils or pens or for the reception of a pencil and a pen, as indicated at 12, 13. The holding element 7 is disposed diagonally with respect to the body portion 1 and is of a length greater than the length of said body portion 1. One end of the holding element 7 is flush, as at 14c with the edge of the body portion 1, and the other end thereof projects beyond the edge of the body portion 1, as indicated at 15.

The holding element 7 as illustrated, whereby the pockets 10 and 11 are open at each end, but it is obvious that one end of the pockets 10, 11 may be closed if desired, and that the holding element 7 can be so set up as to provide for a greater number of pockets, than the number illustrated.

What I claim is 1. A holder for the purpose set forth comprising a flexible body having formed integral therewith a pair of oppositely extending flexible attaching elements, and a holding element formed of flexible material secured to and extending across the upper face of said body and providing lengthwise extending pockets disposed diagonally with respect tothe upper face of said body, the width of said holding element being less than the width of said body and the length of said holding element being such as to extend entirely across said body.

2. A holder for the purpose set forth comprising a flexible body in the form of a circular disk and provided with oppositely exwith and formed of the same material as the material from which. the body is set up, and a flexible holding element secured to and (X- tending across the upper face of said body and forming a plurality of diagonally disposed pockets, said holding element extendmg entirely across said body and of a length equal to the diameter of said body.

3. A holder for the purpose set forth comprising a. flexible body in the form of a circular disk and provided with oppositely extending flexible attaching elements integral with and formed of the same material as the material from which the body is set up, and a flexible holding element secured to and extending across the upper face of said body and forming a plurality of diagonally disposed pockets, said holding element extending entirely across said body and of a length equal to the diameter of said body, and further of a length as to project at one end from said body.

In testimony whereof, I aflix my signa ture hereto. ALLISON D. GISE.
